Even in the digital age, open houses remain one of the top resources for home buyers when it comes to their home search process. During Realtor® Nationwide Open House Weekend this Saturday and Sunday, April 20-21, Realtors® will host thousands of open houses, helping to successfully bring together home buyers and sellers.

Data from a new study from the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and the National Association of Realtors® reveals that during the last recession, residential property values performed 42 percent better on average if they were located near public transportation with high-frequency service.
